Had a Sunday brunch here for Mother's day.
The staff that waited on us was friendly enough and fairly attentive.
A bit nitpicky and perhaps unfair, but we would have appreciated some level
of attention from the other hostesses and manager as
we departed; as by comparison we observed them being fairly active with the other guests.
Regarding the food, we ordered the corned beef hash, lamb stew, crab toastie, the shrimp scallops with
risotto, as well as a blood mary.
The lamb stew dish had mash potatoes, the mashed potatoes was delicious and mixed well with
the stew sauce, but the lamb itself was a bit dry and needed
a heavy amount of mashed potatoes to offset it.
The crab toastie was slightly over seasoned but put together well and had a good flavor overall,
but we were disappointed at the lack of attention to detail in the fact that the avocado
slice on the toast was not yet ripened - made obvious by the hardness.
No serious issues or constructive criticism
with the corned beef hash aside from my mother not enjoying the dish all that much.
The blood mary tasted good but there was a noticeable lack of alcohol for a 8.50$ item.
Lastly the big ticket special, the scallop and shrimp in risotto.
The scallop was cooked well, the risotto and scallop dish was enjoyed throughout the table -
as we are a sharing group.
The main let down was the fact that the shrimp used in the dish
had a telling sign that it was not freshly obtained from the market given the size and shape.
This was disappointing especially being a 32$ dish. This also resulted in some pessimism as to
whether we had eaten fresh crab as well.
I think this will be a great establishment for having some drinks especially
with the bottomless deal and enjoying live music, but I would be hesitant
to seriously recommend any food options, especially the higher priced items.
